# White-backed woodpecker

The white-backed woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos) is a Eurasian woodpecker belonging to the genus Dendrocopos.

## Taxonomy

The white-backed woodpecker was described by the German naturalist Johann Matthäus Bechstein in 1802 under the binomial name Picus leucotos. The specific epithet leucotos combines the Classical Greek leukos meaning "white" and -nōtos meaning "-backed". The type locality is Silesia, a historical region mainly located in Poland. The species is now placed in the genus Dendrocopos that was introduced by the German naturalist Carl Ludwig Koch in 1816.
Twelve subspecies are recognised.
* D. l. leucotos (Bechstein, 1802) – widespread across Eurasia from north, central and eastern Europe to northeast Asia, Korea and Sakhalin
* D. l. uralensis (Malherbe, 1860) – west Ural Mountains to Lake Baikal
* D. l. lilfordi (Sharpe & Dresser, 1871) – Pyrenees to Asia Minor, Caucasus and Transcaucasia
* D. l. tangi Cheng, 1956 – Sichuan province, western China
* D. l. subcirris (Stejneger, 1886) – Hokkaido, northern Japan
* D. l. stejnegeri (Kuroda, 1921) – northern Honshū, Japan
* D. l. namiyei (Stejneger, 1886) – south Honshū, Kyushu, Shikoku (Japan)
* D. l. takahashii (Kuroda & Mori, 1920) – Ulleungdo Island (off eastern Korea)
* D. l. quelpartensis (Kuroda & Mori, 1918) – Jeju Island (off South Korea)
* D. l. owstoni (Ogawa, 1905) – Amami Ōshima Island in the northern Ryukyu Islands, Japan
* D. l. fohkiensis (Buturlin, 1908) – mountains of Fujian province, southeast China
* D. l. insularis (Gould, 1863) – Taiwan
The subspecies D. l. owstoni is sometimes considered a distinct species, the Amami woodpecker.

## Description

It is the largest of the spotted woodpeckers in the western Palearctic, 24–26 cm long with wing-span 38–40 cm. The plumage is similar to the great spotted woodpecker, but with white bars across the wings rather than spots, and a white lower back. The male has a red crown, the female a black one. Drumming by males is very loud, calls include a soft kiuk and a longer kweek.

## Distribution

The nominate race D. l. leucotos occurs in central and northern Europe, with the race D. l. lilfordi found in the Balkans and Turkey. Ten further races occur in the region eastwards as far as Korea and Japan. It is a scarce bird, requiring large tracts of mature deciduous forests with high amounts of standing and laying dead wood. Numbers have decreased in Nordic countries. In Sweden, its population decline has caused the Swedish government to enact protection for the species in the national Biodiversity Action Plan.

## Ecology

In the breeding season it excavates a nest hole about 7 cm wide and 30 cm deep in a decaying tree trunk. It lays three to five white eggs and incubates for 10–11 days. It lives predominantly on wood-boring beetles as well as their larvae, as well as other insects, nuts, seeds and berries.

### Life Span

In the wild the white-backed Woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos) can survive between three and four years, while in captivity they can survive for approximately eleven years.
# White-banded mockingbird

The white-banded mockingbird (Mimus triurus) is a species of bird in the family Mimidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.

## Taxonomy and systematics

The white-banded mockingbird and the brown-backed mockingbird (Mimus dorsalis) are sister species. Both are monotypic.

## Description

The white-banded mockingbird is 20 to 23.5 cm (7.9 to 9.3 in) long and weighs 49 to 54 g (1.7 to 1.9 oz). The male is slightly larger than the female. Adults have a grayish crown, a white supercilium, a blackish line through the eye, and speckled cheeks. Their upperparts are smoky gray blending to reddish cinnamon on the rump. The central third of the tail is black and the outer feathers white. The folded wing shows a broad white band; the rest of the wing is blackish. The white on the wings and tail are conspicuous in flight. The adults are mostly whitish below; the sides and flanks have a cinnamon wash and the vent area is buffy. The juvenile is similar but with a spotted breast and less white in the wing.

## Distribution and habitat

The white-banded mockingbird breeds primarily in central Argentina. In the non-breeding season it apparently withdraws from the southernmost part of its range and is also found in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. It is suspected to regularly breed in all of these countries except Brazil and Chile. Vagrants have been recorded in Peru and the Falkland Islands.
The white-banded mockingbird inhabits a variety of landscapes including low woodlands, savanna, open brushy country, steppe, and around human habitations. It is mostly found below 500 m (1,600 ft) of elevation but breeds as high as 2,600 m (8,500 ft) in northern Argentina and as a non-breeder reaches higher in Bolivia and Chile.

## Behavior
### Feeding

The white-banded mockingbird is thought to be mostly insectivorous in the breeding season but almost nothing is known otherwise.

### Breeding

The white-banded mockingbird's nest is an open bowl made of twigs lined with softer material. It is placed low in vegetation, often a thorny bush. It lays its clutch of four eggs (occasionally three) in November and December. Nests are frequently parasitized by the shiny cowbird (Molothrus bonariensis).

### Vocalization

* Songs and calls
* Listen to white-banded mockingbird on xeno-canto
The white-banded mockingbird is a "[s]uperlative songster, the most outstanding of genus". Its song is " a long, loud and extended stream of melodic notes and phrases" and it is an excellent mimic.

## Status

The IUCN has assessed the white-banded mockingbird as being of Least Concern. It is fairly common to common in most of its range, though the widely scattered breeding records north of Argentina may indicate a more precarious situation there.

# Whulk

Whulk or xwalkw, meaning "(logs) place crossewise", was a Kwakwaka'wakw village at the mouth of the Nimpkish River on northern Vancouver Island, which was a place of origin for some of the groups comprising today's 'Namgis group of Kwakwaka'wakw, who now reside mostly at Yalis on Cormorant Island (i.e. Alert Bay Indian Reserve No. 1).
At Whulk, in legendary times, the Transformer Q!a'neqe lak married the daughter of a chief of Whulk, Gwa' nalalis, who was later transformer into the Nimpkish River, which is known as gwa' ne in Kwak'wala
When visited respectively by Galiano and Vancouver in 1792, there were 34 houses at Whulk, with a population estimated as 200–900 at the time. The site is also known as Cheslakees, though attempts to connect that name with names documented in oral history have failed, though it is supposed to be the name of the village's leading chief at the time of Galiano's and Vancouver's visits. Ches-la-kee Indian Reserve No. 3 was created in 1886 including the location of Whulk.

# Wild Horse Mountain

Wild Horse Mountain is the smallest of the Glass House Mountains on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. It is with the locality of Coochin Creek in the Sunshine Coast Region. The peak rises to 123 metres (404 ft). It is located east of the Bruce Highway unlike all other peaks within the Glass House Mountains and thus provides great views of the other mountains.
It is arguably the most accessible mountain in the local range with a narrow asphalt and concrete road which runs directly to the top. The road is locked with a gate and a larger car park is provided near the base providing a simple walk for most people. A rotunda style building with an interpretive centre has been built at the summit with views limited only by the weather and curvature.
The mountain is part of the Beerburrum East State Forest area which is managed by the Queensland Government's Parks and Forests service.
The nearby service station previously ran a regular bus as a tourist attraction for viewing the rest of the Glasshouse mountains.
# Whooping motmot

The whooping motmot (Momotus subrufescens) is a colorful near-passerine bird in the family Momotidae. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela.

## Taxonomy and systematics

The whooping motmot and the blue-capped (Momotus coeruleiceps), Trinidad (M. bahamensis), Amazonian (M. momota), Lesson's (M. lessonii), and Andean motmots (M. aequatorialis) were at one time all considered conspecific. They were split following a 2009 publication which detailed their differences. The whooping motmot has four recognized subspecies, the nominate Momotus subrufescens subrufescens, M. s. spatha, M. s. osgoodi, and M. s. agenticinctus.

## Description

The whooping motmot's back and wings are olive-green and the underparts dull brown. It has a long, green to blue, tail that has extended feathers with racquet tips that are blue tipped with black. Its crown is black surrounded by a blue band, and it has a black eyemask bordered with turquoise. Twenty-seven specimens of the nominate whooping motmot weighed 75 to 124 g (2.6 to 4.4 oz).

## Distribution and habitat

The whooping motmot has two disjunct populations. The nominate subspecies is found from eastern Panama to northern and western Colombia. M. s. spatha is only on the Guajira Peninsula of northern Colombia. M. s. osgoodi is found from eastern Colombia into northwestern Venezuela. M. s. agenticinctus is separate; it is found in western Ecuador and northwestern Peru. The whooping motmot inhabits several forest types including lowland evergreen and deciduous primary forests, forest edges, and secondary forest.

## Behavior
### Feeding

Not much is known about the whooping motmot's diet. It probably mostly eats large arthropods but is also reported to eat berries and lizards.

### Breeding

Like most Coraciiformes, the whooping motmot nests in long tunnels in earth banks.

### Vocalization

The whooping motmot's song has been described as "whoooop" and a shorter "whoop" .

## Status

The IUCN has assessed the whooping motmot as being of Least Concern.

# Willard H. Allen

Willard Harry Allen (January 19, 1893 – February 25, 1957) was an American poultry scientist who served as New Jersey secretary of agriculture from 1938 to 1956.

## Life and career

Allen was born in Danbury, Connecticut, and graduated from Connecticut Agricultural College, now the University of Connecticut, in 1916. He worked as an extension specialist for poultry husbandry at the University of Georgia before enlisting in the US Army and serving overseas during World War I.
Following his military service, Allen worked as poultry extension specialist first at Connecticut and then for Rutgers University from 1921 to 1927. He served as director of research for Acetol Products in New Brunswick, New Jersey, from 1927 to 1934, when he returned to Rutgers as a full professor of poultry science and state leader of county agricultural agents. He was appointed to lead the federal agricultural adjustment administration for New Jersey that same year.
On January 1, 1938, Governor Harold G. Hoffman appointed Allen to the office of state secretary of agriculture of New Jersey. A popular official and capable administrator, Allen served for 18 years under six governors, both Republicans and Democrats. As secretary of agriculture, he strengthened the connections between farmers and industry, educated the public about the role of agriculture in the state's economy, and revived the New Jersey Agricultural Association in 1940.
Allen served as secretary of the New Jersey Poultry Association, vice president of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce, and director of various national agricultural organizations. He received separate commendations for distinguished service from the New Jersey Agricultural Society and from the state board of agriculture in January 1956. He was awarded an honorary doctorate in science from Rutgers in 1953. In addition, Allen served as president of UConn's alumni association from 1938 to 1940 and received the Distinguished Alumni Award in 1956.

## Death and legacy

Allen resigned due to ill health on February 1, 1956. He died a year later of a heart attack at the Hunterdon Medical Center.
The Willard H. Allen Memorial Auditorium at the Hunterdon Medical Center was dedicated in 1958. The University of Connecticut has a scholarship dedicated to his memory, along with a residence hall, though the hall may have been named after Ethan Allen instead.
A resident of the Rosemont section of Delaware Township (in Hunterdon County), Allen never married and had no children.

# William Australia Graham

William Australia Graham (22 November 1841 – 9 May 1916) was a New Zealand surveyor, mediator, farmer, politician and mayor. He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, on 22 November 1841, the third son of George Graham. He went to Clewer House School, Windsor, and Hele's School, Exeter and returned home in 1854.
William was a Government surveyor, and produced a plan for Hamilton East in 1864, just after the invasion of the Waikato. In 1865 his father was instructed to contact Wiremu Tamihana. William acted as interpreter for General Carey, leading to Wiremu's submission to the Queen and acquiescence to the invasion of the Waikato. King Mahuta presented him with a patu parāoa, in recognition of his mediation. In 1887 he advocated for fair treatment of Māori land.
From the mid-1860s to 1882, he and his brother, Samuel, developed over 1,000 acres (400 ha) at Tamahere, on former Ngāti Haua land. In 1882 he was secretary of Waikato Farmers' Cooperative and, from 1884, chairman of the North New Zealand Farmers' Co-operative Association, formed to establish a sugar beet industry. He influenced Julius Vogel to introduce the Beet-root Sugar Act 1884. The Coop was defunct by 1887.
On 5 March 1872 William married Alice, eldest daughter of Walter Coombes, of the shipping company Coombes and Daldy. That day ships in Auckland harbour were decorated with bunting. Their 3 sons and 6 daughters included a son born on 11 February 1897, Alice Australia Buckleton, Hilda Herberta Blanche Hume, Mrs J. H. Hume, Mrs C. L. & Mrs A. C. Macdiarmid. and Cedric Kenny Onslow Graham, who was born on 21 December 1889 and died on 16 September 1916 at the battle of the Somme, having ignored his father's advice to come home. Alice shared her husband's interest in the Anglican church and charitable work.
He represented Waikato on Auckland Provincial Council from 24 November 1873 to 1876 and was elected Mayor of Hamilton on 27 November 1884, beating his predecessor, Robert Peat, by 84 votes to 56. As mayor he gained Hamilton 120 acres (49 ha) of endowments from the government. He resigned as mayor on 21 May 1887, when he was insulted by a request for a public meeting to review a decision.
He was also appointed borough representative on Auckland Hospital and Charitable Aid Board in 1885 and became chairman of the Waikato Board, when it was formed in 1886. He opposed attempts to establish cottage hospitals around Waikato, and, in 1887, arranged for purchase of the site still used by Waikato Hospital. He retired from the hospital board in December 1888.
In 1882 he moved to "The Lodge" on Hamilton's riverside. It had been a private girls' school, run by Mrs Watts, built on what had been Ngāti Wairere's Kirikiriroa pā. In his later years he was an insurance agent in 1887, a magistrate (1893) and continued his church work.
He was reported as having a lengthy illness in 1904. He was badly injured in a buggy accident and died in his sleep on 9 May 1916, aged 74, after many months of failing health. Alice Graham died in October 1931. A marble pillar, marking the graves of the Graham family, remains at Hamilton East Cemetery.

# William Henry Drew (missionary)

William Henry Drew was a 19th-century Christian missionary to India who rendered the Tirukkural into English. However, he translated only the first 630 couplets of the Tirukkural.

## Work

William Henry Drew was a missionary of the London Society in Madras.$^{:54}$ Drew rendered the Tirukkural into English in prose form and first published it in 1840. Of the 133 chapters of the Kural text, Drew translated only the first 63 chapters. The first edition also included the original Tamil text, Parimelazhagar's commentary, Ramanuja Kavirayar's amplification of the commentary, in addition to Drew's English prose renderings. Drew's rendering closely followed the commentary of Parimelalakar and thus almost remained close to the original work of Valluvar. In 1852, John Lazarus revised Drew's work (Chapters 1 through 63) and published it after completing the remaining portion of the Kural text, beginning from Chapter 64 through Chapter 133. Thus, Drew and Lazarus together made the first complete prose translation of the Tirukkural available in English.
As Robert Caldwell remarked, "Drew was a Devout man, a zealous missionary, a man of culture and devoted student of Tamil . . . His edition of the Kural, a great Tamil Classic, though he did not live to complete the work, placed him in the first rank of European Tamil scholars . . . I derived much benefit from the stimulus to Tamil studies that I received from my daily intercourse with Mr. Drew."

## Impact

One of the sheets of Beschi's Latin translation of the Kural text was found in the handwriting of W. H. Drew, which was kept in the India office Library. This manuscript was later used by Karl Graul for his Latin and German translations of the Kural.$^{:54}$
